Inflation is falling, with the headline consumer price index (CPI) measure slowing to 3.0% in June from 4.0% in May.

The U.S. government on Monday sued a New York-based company for allegedly operating a so-called "massive 'consent farm' enterprise" to trick nearly 1 million people a day into providing personal information and consent to receive telemarketing calls.
